Charlotte went to Captain Jaggery and told him that she didn’t want it. Captain Jaggery said you should keep it because of the crew. Ewing asked Charlotte to go get something for him and that’s when Charlotte Doyle found the round robin and the stowaway. Captain Jaggery got the crew to the deck and shot cranick and hung Zachariah. Charlotte doyle whipped captain Jaggery’s face. Charlotte Doyle

A young girl, a six-year-old beauty pageant queen, was found brutally slaughtered in her home the morning after Christmas in 1996. Who killed the defenseless little girl? The JonBenét Ramsey murder was one of the most chilling cases of its time. The investigation caught the public eye around the world and was a center for tabloids, newspapers, and TV news alike. Now, twenty years later, the world is still captivated by this bizarre crime. What really happened on that fateful winter night? Was it the mother who snapped in a fit of rage over a bed-wetting accident? Or did the neighborhood Santa Clause become a little too enthralled with the tiny beauty queen? Whatever the case, this tragedy has been under investigation for twenty years, and

Throughout all the testimonies, there were many similar things said by both the people who supported Captain Preston and also those who opposed him. One of the similar claims stated on both sides was that most of them said that they heard someone yelled out “fire”  from behind all the soldiers. Some people said that the person behind  the soldiers was an officer. Robert Goddard and William Wyat, both claimed that the officer in the back was Captain Preston. He denies that he called for the soldiers to shoot at the crowd and that it was on their own accord. In addition, there was another claim that three people all remember Preston saying “damn their blood fire” and  “let’em take the consequence”.This shows that Preston most likely planned on

however, he “snared” them in a trap and sold them to the Home Guard. The Home Guard are soldiers who were hired to catch deserters and, either kill them or imprison them. This group of Home Guard had Inman, Veasey and other prisoners all tied to each other in a chain. They are pulled along for several days in the opposite direction to the direction in which Inman was originally headed. “He watched all the westward miles he had accomplished start coming unspooled.” After a while, the Home Guard decide, “you pack of shit are just wasting our time”. They then open fire on the prisoners. Veasey, while trying to save himself, gets in the way of the bullet that should have delivered a fatal shot to Inman. This is ironic because all of the times that Inman tried to get rid of Veasey and he just kept on coming back. Also, all of the times that Veasey could have got Inman killed because of his selfishness, and yet in the end, he saves Inman’s life through an act of complete selfishness. Inman survives the ordeal with the Home Guard and continues on his journey.

I found this passage interesting because it left me thinking and analyzing it for some time. I didn’t quite understand it at first, especially the screaming part. Initially I thought it was the prisoner's form of suicide, but after a while I realized that it was only after he stared at his reflection for a couple seconds, that he let out the blood curdling scream. This lead me to conclude, that the man yelled out of shock and fear because he no longer recognized himself. When we

The novel Fifth Business by Robertson Davies does away with the stigma that Canadian literature is dull and boring. A master of his art, Davies creates a cast of vivid characters and skillfully weaves them into a story about love, guilt, myth and redemption. With the effective use of first-person narrative, Fifth Business is written as a fictional memoir of the character Dunstable Ramsey, who grows up in the small town of Deptford in Ontario, Canada. As a boy, Dunstable was unmistakably very intelligent, gifted with an uncanny ability to read others. He was raised in a Scottish household by strict Presbyterian parents, who into him hammered several religious canons and tenets. Thus,

The book Bone Voyage by Stanley Rhine describes, in stunning detail, the work of forensic anthropologists. The author works for the New Mexico Office of Medical Investigations. The OMI is in charge of investigating any death in New Mexico that is sudden, unnatural, untimely, unattended, or suspicious deaths. They work together with multiple agencies in many different jurisdictions. Bone Voyage gives a lifelike, almost sickly, reality to the important jobs dealt to forensic anthropologists.

Women in Ancient Egypt Script Opening Statement/Introduction Since the beginning of recorded history, different societies have had different values, attitudes and beliefs. However, one of the most distinguishing features of ancient societies is the treatment of women. Unlike modern-day beliefs, most civilisations regarded women as inferior to men; this has been indicated in many documents of literature (Cornell University, 2011) such as Economics by the Greek philosopher Aristotle. Although, the majority of ancient empires enforced this ideal in one way or another, some ancient societies such as Egypt contradicted this perception of women. -Change

Hardin’s lifeboat analogy proposes an interesting situation. If a lifeboat with 50 people on board and a capacity of 60 floated past 100 other people in the water, who would we take, if anyone? If we tried to take everyone, the boat would capsize and everyone would either become stranded or die. It would lead to “complete justice, complete catastrophe” (Hardin 1). If we took no one, we would constantly have to stave off desperate people climbing on board and those who claim entitlement. If we decide to push our lifeboat to its limits, and add 10 more people, how would we choose who to take? What I gather from this is that there’s no truly correct solution. If we take everyone, we all die. If we take no one, we get shamed and blamed for leaving others behind. If we take a select few, we get called out as biased by those who weren’t selected.

With essentially nothing to live for and no reason to go on, many of the prisoners gave up

The plot of Saving Private Ryan illustrates a dramatic war movie by depicting all the stages that a war veteran experiences. Private James Ryan and Captain John Miller were chosen to undertake those emotions and experiences. Towards the beginning of the film, the point of view switches from Ryan to Miller when Ryan has a flashback to WWII. Through Miller’s eyes the audience experiences the pure horror of World War II. Saving Private Ryan shows the battles of Normandy beaches where more than 10,000 American troops died alone. Spielberg used this scene in particular to show the raw

Once one of the prisoner’s is released, he is forced to look at the fire and the objects that once made up his perceived reality, and realizes that the new images he is made to acknowledge are now the accepted forms of reality.

     By the end, the only emotion left among the prisoners is fear. The prisoners desire food more than anything, two cauldrons of soup are there for the taking, “but who would dare?” (66). The prisoners are crushed by the fear of death or pain, and drop their hope and desire, having lost the last vestiges of humanity. Without their humanity, the only thing that matters to them is satisfaction of bodily requirements, and the prevention of

Stephen Crane’s “The Open Boat” and Jack London’s “To Build a Fire” include parallel ideas of Man’s hopelessness in the natural world. Through out both short stories the authors bring up questions of man’s fate and his relationship with nature as well as carry a theme of naturalism. When nature seems to repeatedly play against man, the reader wonders we whether nature is cruel and sinister, making it difficult for man to live. Evidence in the the two stories such as the animal’s presence, the environments, and the different human characters, in both stories leads one to believe that nature is not in fact out to get man, but it is a neutral, indifferent factor.
